I think if I had a couple of rooms like that and limited time and funds, I would consider just painting the floor. My husband would never let me paint "acceptable" ones, but he might let me paint ugly ones.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081757519772226348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102528306547226964.post-882087942159211252011-06-16T08:00:26.550-05:002011-06-16T08:00:26.550-05:00I don't know if it will be your favorite, but ...I don't know if it will be your favorite, but it seems a good "universal" beer, lol. Great for guests.<br /><br />I have had great luck matching the paints at the local MAB store. "Our" guy is very good, and when he tests it on the chip, you couldn't see it if it weren't for the sheen. I'm sure it doesn't have the depth and saturation of the real deal, but the " color" is the same. We have several projects going at once, but I hope to have some things finished to post soon. We have limited ourselves to their color card just because the selection is overwhelming, and it is just liberating somehow to only have 132 choices!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081757519772226348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102528306547226964.post-62396028289839552092011-06-15T16:07:03.731-05:002011-06-15T16:07:03.731-05:00I'm so flattered that you thought of me after ...I'm so flattered that you thought of me after finding the "perfect beer." I've never heard of it but, according to the website, we can get it downtown here in Newark. That's a pleasant surprise. I thought there was a city ordinance disallowing the sale of everything except Bud Light. I've been running the floor sander all day . . . I might be able to convince my husband to step out and pick some up.<br /><br />I was just going to leave you a note asking if you've had good luck color matching Farrow and Ball colors in other brands? Or if you have a particular brand or store that seems to do better or worse. I was just looking at a website the other day that had groups of really good shades of each color and almost without exception my favorites were F&B. After we finish upstairs we might be in the mood for something simple like a paint job in our own apartment.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00593935812779639583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102528306547226964.post-23592150630914434132011-06-15T15:17:40.724-05:002011-06-15T15:17:40.724-05:00Exciting stuff!

We had one room of our old house like that, and we ended up just tiling that room (the dining room) because each one of those zillion tacks pull a chunk of wood out with it. There would have been more putty than wood, lol.<br /><br />I was just thinking of you because my husband has found the "perfect beer." We've yet to have someone taste it and not like it--and get this, it comes in a can. It is Dale's Pale Ale. It isn't easy to find (we have to drive over the border to Maryland to get it), but I think it will be some time before my husband tires of it. Have you had it?Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081757519772226348noreply@blogger.com
